Spiritual but Not Religious – Or Just Lazy?

Last updated on: March 3, 2013 at 8:43 am By Tim Suttle

I read this today and thought it looked pretty interesting… I might have to use some of my amazon.com-cred to get this one: From Religion Dispatches: The Reverend Lillian Daniel’s latest book, When “Spiritual But Not Religious” Is Not Enough, will not disappoint readers who have come to enjoy her self-deprecating humor, her theological insights, and of course, snarky jabs at those fence-sitters who want it all: the SBNR. The book is a collection of stories and essays, some more sermonic... Read more

Best Game Ever – I Really Want to Play… Your Friday Funny

Last updated on: March 1, 2013 at 7:02 am By Tim Suttle

Okay, true confession time: I’m afraid to play paint ball. I have tons of friends who have played it, or still do. I’ve been invited many times but have never played. It’s not that I’m pain averse, I’m okay with pain. However, I am deathly afraid of being startled. I’ve never liked it. Even as a child. To this day, if someone jumps out of the dark to try and scare or startle me? What can I say? My fight/flight... Read more

Lenten Question of the Week: What Distractions/Addictions are Keeping You From God?

Last updated on: February 28, 2013 at 6:18 am By Tim Suttle

Lenten Question of the Week: What distractions or addictions are keeping you apart from God, love, and abundant life? It’s an interesting question. Richard Rohr teaches that 95%+ of human thought is repetitive and useless. If he’s right then the answer to that question is: me. I am the distraction, the addiction that keeps me from the presence of God. When I was in elementary school I lived just down the block from a girl who was in my class. My... Read more

Ten Great Words You Should Know and Use – Part 02

Last updated on: February 27, 2013 at 8:44 am By Tim Suttle

I am an unabashed logophile (n. – lover of words), and am always on the lookout for ways to improve my vocabulary. As I’ve begun writing more and more, I’ve noticed that I track in the same semantic (adj. – pertaining to meaning of words), pathways – a kind of syntactical (adj. – pertaining to the study of rules for the formation of sentences), regression toward the mean. A good word can transform your palaver (n. – profuse and idle talk), into poetry.... Read more

Will Evangelicalism Last? Here’s My Take from The Huffington Post

Last updated on: February 25, 2013 at 10:40 am By Tim Suttle

*This article is from The Huffington Post 02.25.20213 Rob Bell has another book coming out, the first since his bestseller “Love Wins” caused an evangelical uproar. Folks who haven’t even read the book yet are already critiquing it based on the marketing material alone. Denny Burk recently called Bell a “heterodox theological liberal,” and further claimed Bell is “no longer relevant to the larger evangelical theological conversation.” Burk predicted Bell’s book will be “greeted with a collective yawn,” a thought which is sure to be news to the...

How To Avoid Huge Ships – A Little Friday Funny

Last updated on: February 22, 2013 at 10:14 am By Tim Suttle

In 1982 Captain John Trimmer wrote a maritime operations guidebook called How to Avoid Huge Ships. The book was meant to guide captains of smaller sailing/pleasure vessels and yachts who will need to navigate busy shipping lanes of the ocean without bothering or getting into trouble with large shipping vessels. The book had a very small audience and was full of ostensibly useful information on the capabilities of large ships and best practices for how to guide your own smaller... Read more

Google Glass: Is This a Step Too Far? (If So, then Why Does It Look So Amazing?)

Last updated on: February 21, 2013 at 8:18 am By Tim Suttle

At what point does technology so impact the human person that it fundamentally changes what it means to be a person? Has that point already come and gone? And when we look at what we can do, does can mean ought? Is there a point at which technology so infiltrates personhood that it actually begins to weaken the species? Has technology become fully woven into the story of how humans evolve? Is that good? Is that what we want? I... Read more

Secrets of a Happy Family…

Last updated on: February 20, 2013 at 7:53 am By Tim Suttle

Parade Magazine did an interesting story on the secrets of a happy family last weekend. It’s worth reading. They featured a quiz that has a few interesting bits of trivia. I cherry-picked a few of the questions that I think play into some of what we’ve been talking about at Paperback Theology lately. See if you’d get these right: When a team of psychologists measured children’s resilience, they found that the kids who ________ were best able to handle... Read more

The Wisdom of Henri Nouwen: How Vulnerability Comes to Life During Lent

Last updated on: February 20, 2013 at 4:59 pm By Tim Suttle

For Lent this year I’m fasting from all foods after 9pm. The reason I’m doing this is not very interesting. It’s just that I typically use up all of my will power about 8:30 and by the time I hit the sack two hours later, I’ve usually eaten around a thousand calories of junk. I’m a gluttony-machine after 9pm. It’s one of my many unhealthy emotional crutches, so I’m giving it up. What I’m giving up for Lent is boring.... Read more
